HEY is a premium email service launched by Basecamp in June 2020. The service may be accessed through the HEY website and through apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, Android and iOS. Due to the service's vertical integration, a HEY mailbox cannot be incorporated into other email services or stand-alone email clients.
Around the time of HEY's launch, a stand-off between Basecamp and Apple Inc. over Apple's policy on in-app purchases in apps hosted by its App Store was the cause of significant media attention upon Apple's policies.
